The Crashed Pelican in Halo 3's "Cortana"...
Is it the same pelican we found at the beginning of Halo 2's
"High Charity"?
It isn't the chiefs because he came in a banshee. It can't be the arbiter's because the pelican is there before him. Johnson used another one. So is it the same pelican from Halo 2?
-
Highly doubt it.
-
No. You are in a totaly different area that from Halo2.

They're far too recent to have been from the [i]In Amber Clad[/i], the Flood had had atmospheric control over [i]High Charity[/i] for months by the time of Halo 3. [Edited on 11.15.2010 11:34 PM PST]

The reason why I'm going with the theory that that particular pelican was a recent arrival was because no single human controlled ship had made it onto High Charity. We know that the In Amber Clad broke through, but as Cortana said there were no human life signs aboard it, and as we know in Halo 2 the Pelicans seen there were all Flood controlled.

I doubt it's the same Pelican, but... I sort of realized something. You go through the room you rescue Cortana from, earlier in Halo 2. There's an enormous cracked screen in the background with a pedestal in the middle of it, which has an Energy sword on it. I think this is [i]around[/i] where you're in that black-out section with Covenant fighting the Flood, with a door that has a energy sword-shaped light on it. It is possible that it could be the same Pelican now that I think of it. Unless I'm wrong, the Pelicans are facing the same direction in correspondence with the outer wall of High Charity, although there was a door close by, and the crashed Pelican landed closer to the middle of the "dock" seen in Halo 2. The fresh Marine and ODST corpses strewn along the path also suggest the Pelican is a recent addition to the hive.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] privet caboose [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] flamedude I'd love to know the story of that dead lone ODST deep inside High Charity.[/quote] It'd make a great story for another Evolutions style book with short stories. [/quote] off topic but does anyone know what additions are made to Evolutions Vol. 1 and 2?

I doubt it, it would have had to have survived a slipspace journey, and then the mother of all impacts into the dirt. Nice thought, but alas, unlikely.
-
It's crashed inside the mausoleum tower, so I don't think so.
-
As seen in Halo 2's mission [i]High Charity[/i], there were quite a lot of Pelicans crashing all around High Charity. It is most likely that it's not the same Pelican. However, it's possible it fell from the tower and crashed onto that tiny platform.

To narrow down your search, seek the answers to these questions... - What models were those Pelicans, do they match? - How many Pelicans were at High Charity? - Where did the Flood in Halo 2 leave that Pelican and where exactly in High Charity is the Pelican that is used in Halo 3?
